Joe Biden, in his inaugural address to Congress, called North Korea and Iran's Nuclear plans “a major threat to security of United States and global Community".
North Korea on Sunday warned the United States that it would face "a very serious situation" because President Joe Biden had "made a serious mistake" in his recent speech calling the North a security threat and expressed his intention to maintain a violent policy.
Last week, Biden, in his inaugural address to Congress, called North Korea and Iran's nuclear programs "the biggest security threats to the United States and the world's security forces," and said he would work with his colleagues to resolve those issues through negotiations and force prevention."His statement clearly indicates his intention to continue enforcing a violent policy on the DPRK as it had been in the United States for more than half a century," Kon Jong Gun, North Korea's foreign ministry chief executive, said in a statement.
"It's true that the US chief executive made a big mistake because of today's view," Kwon said.
"Now that the new US DPRK policy statement has been made public, we will be forced to look for alternatives, and in the long run the United States will find itself in a much worse position." Kwon has not yet specified what steps North Korea will take, and its statement could be seen as an attempt to put pressure on Biden's management as it shapes its North Korean policy.
The White House said Friday executives had completed a review of US policy aimed at North Korea, saying Biden was planning to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors as he tried to stop North Korea's nuclear program.
Journalist Jen Psaki did not elaborate on the findings of the review, but suggested that management would seek a middle ground between Donald Trump's "big talks" and Barack Obama's "strategic tolerance".
Koon's statement did not comment on Psaki's comments.
After conducting a series of high-level nuclear tests and missile weapons in 2016-17, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un presented a series of talks with Trump on the future of his growing nuclear weapons.
But that debate has remained stagnant for almost two years due to differences in the level of sanctions North Korea could overcome to restore nuclear sanctions.
In January, Kim threatened to increase its nuclear arsenals and build high-tech weapons that would target the United States, saying the future of bilateral relations would depend on whether it abandoned its nuclear policy.
